I’m A Celebrity: Mike Tindall is elected as the second camp leader as Matt Hancock steps down

Mike Tindall was chosen as the second camp leader when Matt Hancock stepped down from his role in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here on Friday! episode.

The former rugby player, 44, was chosen by his fellow celebrities after they voted to replace Matt, also 44, as their leader.

Matt read a laminate of the campmates who voted for their new camp leader and announced, “The celebrity with the most votes will be the new leader. The first role of the new leader is to immediately choose a deputy. I’m going to count the votes now!’

Boy George said in the Bush Telegraph, ‘Please don’t let it be me. I don’t want responsibility. I’ve avoided it for the past 61 years!’

But George was spared the role when Matt announced, “The winner of the leadership is – Mike!”

Mike immediately took his seat in the comfortable red leader’s seat when Matt gave up the role, before announcing that he wanted Sue Cleaver as his deputy.

“She’s always been by my side, it’s going to be Sue,” he gushed.

Camp leaders are given the luxury of handing out chores to their fellow campmates and are not allowed to help with daily tasks, such as cooking or cleaning.

Speaking of the news, Owen told Bush Telegraph, “It’s going to be a mess without him doing everything!”

Mike quickly distributed chores among the camp mates, with none of the stars allowed to do the same job as before.

He said, “What we’ve tried to do is keep it as close as possible to what we think people want to do.”

Charlene White and Jill Scott were nominated as camp chefs, while Seann Walsh and Scarlette Douglas took on the dishes.

Meanwhile, Owen Warner and Babatúndé Aleshe were given camp water shelters while Matt was demoted from leader to dunny duties.

Boy George was also put on camp maintenance alongside Chris Moyles.

It comes after Matt was crowned the first camp leader after winning another leadership contest, before having to step down from the role in Mike’s place.

The former health minister, 44, faced Mike Tindall in the leadership battle, who complained he would be ‘in so much shit’ because he lost to the MP.

One person who made it clear that they would not follow orders was Boy George, who insisted, “Ultimately, neither of them will have any power over me.” If I don’t want to do something, I don’t.’
